The kittens have discovered the indoor garden and the plants are looking battered and ill. Water, I thought. I grabbed up the large, plastic watering can and pushed it under the tap - turned on the tap. Wham! - the plastic can leapt out of the sink and clattered along the floor. "Yowl", the can screamed. I couldn't believe it - surely the 4-inch hole in the top of that balloon shaped can couldn't accommodate a cat's body!

"Yowl," shouted Bonnie, squeezing herself out of the top of the can. Bonnie was wet and cross. Me, - I was recovering from a heart attack!
